Legislation
Spain does not have a common
law for the protection of pets. Despite this there are different rules and laws
in each autonomous community who seek both to protect these animals as that of
those in captivity.
These laws penalize, for
example, experimentation, abuse and neglect of animals. Also forcing their
owners to register in the census provincial health and to take responsibility
for their actions.
The animals also have a Universal
Declaration of the Rights of Animals passed in 1978 and subsequently
ratified by the UN and UNESCO.
